Have you noticed any downfalls to having your doors removable such as the door not closing properly or anything.

All you need is a rotary tool like a dremel and the cutting wheel attachment.

i cant remember exactly where (just search) but there is an awesome right up on jeepforum.com

i printed it all off and have been wantin to do it very badly. But winter is almost here so i might put it off till next year.

do the one that is called "another approach at removing doors" or something like that. That write up is way better than the other one that is on there. And has a better end result IMO.

Do you have any play in the door since you made the doors removable?

Negative. I also pressed the pins out and replaced with grade 8 bolts that are a bit smaller in diameter. Ill get the sizes tommorow for you.
